Madelyn the Gymnast

Madelyn's really been enjoying her gymnastic class she's been taken this past fall. She loves that her friend Abby is taking it with her too. Coach Kyle is great with the girls and Madelyn is a monkey on the bars!  These photos were taken through the looking glass so they aren't the greatest. Check out the video of Madelyn doing a few tricks!

11/23/14: Rollar Skating

My parent's subdivision had a fundraiser at Aurora Skate.  I wasn't sure if Madelyn would want to do it since she was not a fan of ice skating last year. She surprised me and really wanted to go when she woke up from nap so I figured we'd try it. I didn't get skates thinking Madelyn would want to hold my hand but she surprised me by wanting to be on her own about 20 minutes after we got there!  They had these great SkateMates to help kids learn to balance. Check out Madelyn in the videos below.

And they all fall down!

So much fun!

11/22/14: Operation Christmas Party

Madelyn loved going to help pack shoeboxes for kids around the world who have nothing. This year her friends, Eliza and Annabel, came to help fill shoe boxes too!
